Hopefully this will be available when my son has his allergy appt in November...assuming our insurance will cover it.

Woo-hoo!!!

Just saw this...not a problem for DS, but will be for others.


Neffy also comes with warnings and precautions about use of epinephrine by people with certain coexisting conditions and allergic reactions associated with sulfite.

This is an amazing development! Car temp stable and small too!

Is this different than autoinjectors?

It's an epinephrine nasal spray.

It's available now in America, though insurance companies have been slow to approve coverage. They have their own coverage system similar to AUVI-Q.

I really hope these come to Canada as Allerjects have been discontinued (or lengthy pause) and Epipens don't fit in any of my pockets. (Though I still think I prefer a needle to nasal spray, but in time I'm sure I'll accept the latter.)
